Looking for Cazabon is the first poetry collection by the Trinidadian novelist Lawrence Scott and was inspired by the paintings of Michel Jean Cazabon, Trinidad's most famous 19th-century painter, and the subject of Scott's novel, Light Falling on Bamboo. The poems - written while Scott was working on the novel - celebrate love, friendships and the island's natural beauty but it is a wonderment undercut by violence, both historical and contemporary.

But might they actually bring out the best in each other?Sparkling, big-hearted and life-affirming, The God of Good Looks is a story about prejudice and pride, the masks we wear and who we can become if we dare to take them off.-----'Phenomenal!
